[REGRESSION][BISECTED] asus-wmi driver fails on my laptop

[REGRESSION][BISECTED] asus-wmi driver fails on my laptop

[Yura Strilets]

Hello,

After upgrading from 6.11 to 6.12 a bunch of Fn+Fx buttons(touchpad, 
mic, kb backlight, my asus) stopped working and the 
/sys/(...)/asus::kbd_backlight interface is missing, which, considering 
the dmesg, looks like an asus-wmi driver issue.

I've been able to bisect the issue to the commit 
[b012170fed282151f7ba8988a347670c299f5ab3] "platform/x86: asus-wmi: Fix 
thermal profile initialization"

Additionally, here's some maybe-helpful information:
my laptop's model -- ASUS Zenbook UX3402VA
linux distro -- Arch Linux
.config for bisection -- was taken from /proc/config.gz at 6.12.1 arch 
kernel(attached in [1]) and missing options are default
dmesg logs -- The "grep asus" parts of both good and bad scenarios can 
be seen below and full logs are at [2] and [3]

I am aware of this issue, the necessary fix (commit 25fb5f47f34d) was already submitted upstream and will likely
show up in the stable kernels soon.

Thank you very much for the fix!
I am terribly sorry about a faulty report, I did just find out I had an issue during the mainline build.

There is nothing faulty about your report, the necessary fix is still not available in any stable kernels.
On the contrary i am happy that so many users are reporting this issue, because otherwise we would have
never heard of it :)

Thanks,
Armin Wolf
